#fable 3 logan

[morgueyouknow]

I haven’t drawn anything fable related in ages so here’s Logan and Reaver ( ignore the fact Reaver is an older piece I did centuries ago )

Really fuckrd up rn about how fable 3 is the only on of the main three games where the player character has no goal of reuniting with their sibling in some way.

The hero of oakvale has no idea that Theresa's alive but also no idea if shes dead, unlike with Brom he doesn't see her body, it lets him live with the hope that she's still out there, and she is, and while their reunion is short, Theresa being drawn to do other things, our hero had the comfort that she is alive, able to sufficiently take care of herseld, and she has an idea of how to find him.

Sparrow wants to avenge Rose, to take Luciens life in a way that is more intentional than his taking of their sisters was. They think getting revenge will sooth the ache in them, to bring them closer to who they used to be before they lost the only person they had that cared. And then, at the end, they are given a moment, a single moment of hope that they're going to get their sister back, just to have it snatched away as quickly as it's given. Sparrow never reunites with their sister, they never really thought they could, but they had hoped, and are left with the hollowness that comes with it that hope being cut from them.

But the Hero of Brightwall? They give up on Logan, and are never really shown to want him back. They consider their relationship with him ever fractured after what happens with Elliot/Elise, and everyone else tells them he is a lost cause, and they don't refute it. They show no desire to bring their brother back to who he used to be, perhaps they don't even remember that version anymore, they spare his life, but spend no time with him, they don't forgive him, they don't resist when he says he's going to leave Albion. They know now that Logan was put in an impossible postion, but that part of them, the part that's still angry with him, the part that heard all throughout their journey how Logan is an insult to their parents memory, a blemish on their lineage, entirely unforgivable, wins out above any part or them that still loves their big brother and wishes to keep him close.

Fable 3 is the final fracturing of a family that for generations has been fighting to stay together, even through death, and we never get to see them come back together.

realizing i never elaborated on this. so basically i thought reavers color scheme and fable 3 was odd cause white and black is an odd combo for steampunky colors esp if there isn’t a lot of brown. but they’re also too drab to be flamboyant reaver colors and like, it’s just a weird color combo. anyways i fell into a rabbit hole about colors in the victorian era and their common usages and white, black, and purple are all common mourning colors. sure i guess you could argue that these colors on the characters represent wealth and prestige but if i was reaver and the bestie died, id be dramatic as fuck about it too. anyways there’s a lot more under the cut so fuck it

disclaimer I know fable 3 isn’t explicitly set in the Victorian era but it takes a LOT of inspiration from early Victorian/Industrial era Britain, enough so that I feel its fair to interpret through that lens.

Reaver

Men’s wardrobes were often fairly muted with some browns allowed, and colors would differ depending on the period of mourning you were in (black> black and grey> black and white> black/white and purple> normal colors again)

also important to note that the mourning period would change based off of how close you were with the deceased. Mourning could be anywhere from a few months to a few years.

Black silk top hat with a seven inch crepe (the band on the hat) that is either black, grey or beige.

His clothes are all white with black trimmings which would have been common half mourning attire

ALSO his undershirt under his brown vest is black. Which is also just uncommon in the Victorian era and also in fable 3 lmao, no one fucking dresses like him

his cravat is also black which you literally do not wear unless you are in mourning. Its weird

Like sure you can say he wears white cause he’s a factory owner and is able to stay clean cause he’s rich, but who shows off their wealth in the dullest, most drab colors. All the other nobles walk around in the brightest, most vivid, eye assaulting color combinations, why is he different. Here are some examples of black and white half mourning and quarter mourning attire.

Most of the examples are women’s clothes because um, Victorian misogyny and women being expected to mourn longer while men were expected to be breadwinners and provide for their families. But if you read through old magazines and guides from the time you’ll find that men also wore similar clothes made with the same colors and materials, just usually for a shorter period of time.

In conclusion you can interpret this as however you like but personally I like this idea cause his clothes are just so ugly otherwise.

Little bonus to talk about the HOBW and Logan because they both wear purple and you could fairly interpret that as “oh those are royal colors” “purple is meant to be a neutral color opposed to blue or red”. But look.

Purple, specifically purples with white were often worn by the children of the deceased while in mourning as drab colors would raise an ‘unpleasant child’.
